The right to education (Art. 13) 1999, para. 40
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The enjoyment of academic freedom requires the autonomy of institutions of higher education. Autonomy is that degree of self governance necessary for effective decision making by institutions of higher education in relation to their academic work, standards, management and related activities. Self governance, however, must be consistent with systems of public accountability, especially in respect of funding provided by the State. Given the substantial public investments made in higher education, an appropriate balance has to be struck between institutional autonomy and accountability. While there is no single model, institutional arrangements should be fair, just and equitable, and as transparent and participatory as possible.
